Investment group fined £17.5m

Banking giant Goldman Sachs was fined £17.5m by the UK's Financial Services Authority yesterday – the second-biggest penalty ever issued by the City watchdog.

The American investment group was punished for failing to tell the FSA that one of its traders was being investigated amid claims of investment buyers being misled when he started at the London office.

The biggest fine was 33m, imposed on JP Morgan.
